On this 5 th day March 1839, person- ally appeared before Stephen Barlow, Esq. an associate judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the County aforesaid, Abigail Gillet , a resi- dent of Troy township, in said County. Aged Seventy Seven years on the thirteenth or fourteenth day of June last past, but which of the two days she cannot, from the great failure of memory consequent to old age, now say; who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the pro- vision made by the act of Congress passed June 7. 1838: That she is the widow of William Gillet who was a soldier in the service of the United States during the Revolution, and as such served the period of seven years. As informant frequently heard him say, but at what particular times, the places where officers under whom she cannot now, from failure of memory, state, altho' she frequently heard him speak of it. That she has no direct proof of his services, but annexes hereto the certificate of a pension which her husband received, dated May 10. 1821. and for the state, that he had a previous certificate of a similar nature, dated the Thirteenth, the 10 th March, 1819, but which she believes was sent a short time since with the power of attorney given by her to draw the arrear of pension due her husband at the time of his decease. She has no doubt however that the requisite proof of her husband's services must be on file in the War Office, or Pension Department, & refers to them as evidence thereof. She further declares that she was married to the said William Gillet in the year 1784, & thinks in the fall of the year, but of this she is not certain as she has no evidence of it & the failure of her memory prevents her speaking with greater certainty, That it was in Norfolk Litchfield County Connecticut: That her husband the aforesaid William Gillet died on the second day of March 1838 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed. She also states that her husband's house was con- sumed by fire in Canaanville, State of New York, some time about the year 1803 or 1804, when the family records of her age & marriage were concerned. That a record was made a few years after was lost by

Sir:
I have the honor to inform you that upon a more careful examination of the claim of Abigail Gillet, widow of William Gillet, a paper, which escaped our observation this morning, is found, showing clearly that her husband's pay was $4-10 per month. Her claim has therefore been correctly adjusted at $180. per annum. We have thought it proper to advise you of this fact, before any further action in the case, is taken.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your Ob t . Serv t .

The papers herein referred to must be the account of the settlement made with Capt Gugland's company before Aug. 1. 1877, and before the letter of Genl. Mifflin which means the monthly pay of the Dicks of Texas from 1815 to 1816. per month. — The extent of from the Wadsworth Books, shows that in all settlements made after Mifflin's letter the teams were allowed $16.00 per month. The papers show Gillette was a teamster for three years commencing in 1877. He of course must have recd. $16. per month for more than two years. — Sept. 16. 1880                      Loren P. Waldo

Henry L. P. Waldo House of Reps.

Washington, Aug 21. 1855 —
Sir:
I beg leave to call your attention to the question of the proper pension of Wadsworth's teamsters.
Some years it was discovered, by correspondence accompanying this letter, that they had been promised $14. per month, instead of $12. per month, as had before been assumed, & accordingly their pension was raised to $18. for each month's service, and all who showed themselves under Wadsworth were here prima facie entitled to this increase. But your immediate predecessor, towards the close of his administration, required proof of the amount the application actually received, the production of which in every  very many of the cases, is impossible. — We produce a general order authorizing the pay of $14. per month, the Office replies that some of those men received less, a fact of which I am not cognizant, nor is the Office. But grant it. Is the general rule or the exception to govern the action of the Office?

It is certainly a fair presumption of fact that the party would choose the higher wages rather than the lower, of which, in the absence of contrary proof, we ought to have the benefit. And, legally, I contend that the party who relies upon an exception from the general rule must prove his case to fall within the exception. This is as clear to a legal mind, than I shall not elaborate it. — But if it were shown that any man fell within the exception, he would still be entitled to the general rule. In the case of Sarah White, the Secretary decided that, not what the party received, but the general law, should be the measure of his pension. A contrary practice would introduce infinite confusion in the practice of the office, & give rise to the most suspicious of favoritism. Thus two men serving side by side in the same grade, & for the same length of time under the same office, should receive, one $80 & the other $162 per ann.

is an annuity which can be deposited with by reason of precedence. Accordingly the late Comm. Perrine charged thirty per Mann at $20 per month or less. though his own record showed he received but about $14 per month, & was at that not entitled even to $8 per month. In fact, uniformity of pension for the same service is as equitable, & as convenient to all we must suppose the intention of Congress, that no more conjecture should be allowed to dispute it. — I mean further say get that in '79 Congress allowed $40 per month to veterans, & it can be shown that many of them receive more. Of these, the statutory rate of $14 per month, be broken down & the Office put to sea on this year. Then, I think it will be impossible to refer them even a free pension, unless as a literary Reun dogma which no man shall be put for inserted into law

by the office.

Sir in obedience to your orders I raised a number of Drivers & enlisted them at fifteen dollars per month since which others in the same place have been engaged at sixteen Dollars which has created great uneasiness and I see no remedy but to give them first refusal the same as those of have been since engaged, this I wish to draw your orders for. I have been at the expense of inoculating a number of these men which I desire your approbation off. The bearer will wait your answer which I wish may be sent as expeditiously as possible that I may return to Peeks Kill

Statement of Cash Heirs of William Gillett & Abigail Gillett, his wife, of Newton

In the case of William Gillette deceased lato a pensioner under act of 18 th March 1818 at the rate of $96 per annum and after his death his widow Abigail at the rate of $80 per year —
From a copy of his declaration here with submitted made by W m Gillette under Act of 1818 it appears that in 1776 he enlisted in Col Banals Regt served about 8 months in the month of March or April enlisted (the Wadsworth books say 19 th April) enlisted for three years as a driver of Baggage Waggons under the direction & command of Conductor Giles Gaylord in the Continental establishment served in this corps until the period of his engagement expired for the 3 rd time entered the service in 1781 in the Massachusetts line of the Continental establishment
For his service as teamster a claim is made under Conductor Gaylord in the Connecticut Continental establishment a claim is made for an increase of of his pension to 16 per month — And his right to it is shown by the accom- panying letters or copies from Col Wadsworth Gen Mifflin & Col Nehemiah Hubbard

The letter of Col Wadsworth to Gen Mifflin says "In obedience to your order I raised a number of Teams and enlisted them at $15 pr month Since others in the same place have engaged at $16 pr month which has created great uneasiness &c proposing to raise all to $16 pr month Gen Mifflin in answer says I agree to the wages being extended to all your  waggoners to the sum of sixteen dollars
Without reference to the letter of Col Hubbard the Wadsworth books show that this was done on all pay rolls settled after the first August 1777
  Refer to Gordon Wadsworth's rolls  pay  108  90/      109  96/    up to March 1778   195  96/    David Force Roll   153  90      154  96      190  £4.16  
See William Boland 226
1 Month wages for himself & 11 teamsters 61.10 This is £12 for the conductor & £4.10 for teamsters
Page 228
  Paid William Boland for one  } £2.16    month's wages for 11 teamsters

Phineas Merrill Co over over

Sitto P d Phineas Merrill , Wages for himself & company from 13 th June to 13 th Aug last £ 129.12 on Page 169 the Co consisted of 11 Teamsters This is 12 for Conductor & 4 16 for Private on Letter book they are set down as a company of 11.
We do not in fact show the pay of more than 4 10 to Elias Gaylord, Co
The only roll that appears on the Wadsworth books was prior to the order raising the wages & the declaration of William Gullett shows that he was attached to the main army & was discharged at Morris town by Genl Greene 2 nd M Genl.
However that may be the order of Genl Miffin shows that the wages of 16 per month was to be extended to all the your waggoners & that this company composed a part of this his waggoners is true
I respectfully refer to the rolls in the Pension office for confirmation both of rate of pay & length of service - as a Teamster -
" As to the length of service. The declaration of 1818 is explicit & was made under such circumstances as afforded no motive for misrepresentation As the discharge attached to the old means papers would have secured a pension

either under the act of 1818 or 1832 so that it must be considered the declaration of a man free from all bias & as only detail- ing the exact truth
Such evidence I should consider of the highest & most satisfactory character
But the evidence now furnished does not merely establish the rate of compensation but they settle an important principle I understand that from the supposed different rates of compensation to copy the appear- ing on the Wadsworth books the inference has been drawn that the service was of a civil nature & therefore not embraced by the Act of June 7 1832
It is proved that they were enlisted new under orders - & pursuant thereto that the supposed different rates of compensation did not exist that they were all paid the same sum per month The certificate of the Comp t shows that some of them were enlisted even for the war
Other proofs evidence might be adduced if necessary but enough it has been conceded has been said
